DevOps Engineer

A large retail company is seeking a skilled DevOps Engineer to join our Integrations and Platforms team, focusing on empowering developers by streamlining the deployment of cloud-native applications on Microsoft Azure. In this high-impact role, you will ensure reliable, repeatable, and scalable infrastructure deployments using Terraform and Terraform Cloud, while defining best practices for CI/CD using GitHub Actions. Your initial projects will include establishing new CI/CD pipelines supporting multi-environment deployments (e.g., dev, stage, prod, and ephemeral environments for pull requests) to Azure, creating enablement documentation and training to help developers adopt new tools and workflows effectively, and assisting in migrating existing applications from Heroku to Azure. This position requires hands-on expertise and cross-functional collaboration with internal IT Platform Engineering teams to develop and maintain reusable infrastructure modules, with bonus points for experience with Kubernetes, Kafka, or APM tools like Dynatrace to enhance observability and reliability efforts across the stack. This is a remote position with quarterly travel to Chicago, IL. If you reside in Chicago, you may be expected to work in the office three days a week, with flexible arrangements.
